‘Worst player ever’ – Some Newcastle fans tear into 28-yr-old after tonight’s display

The fans were particularly disappointed with the performance of Jeff Hendrick. The 28-year-old was quite poor against Villa a...

‘We’re officially relegated’ – Some NUFC fans react to the club’s decision regarding Bruce’s future
Newcastle United are prepared to stick with Steve Bruce as their manager despite their poor run of form. According to the Chronicle, club chiefs have decided to be patient with the current manager until the summer at the very least. The Magpies are currently winless in their last ten matches in all competitions and they have lost eight of those games.

Bruce’s style of play is already unpopular with the Newcastle fans and they would have expected the club hierarchy to act more decisively and bring in a proper alternative to salvage the remainder of the season. Newcastle are currently 16th in the Premier League t...
